Top tips number 1

Maintaining your hair extensions and avoiding fall outs is all important, we have all had a really good hair wash and condition , and then experience the come down of several hair extensions wrapped around our hair brushes, one of the important things to get right is the washing process

Wash hair in tepid water, not hot, hot water helps break down the bonds to an extent, and also, hair shrinks in heat so avoid hot hot water, go for as cool you can stand.

Wash from the bottom up, yes that's right start at the ends of your hair and the extensions and gently shampoo up to the bonds stop short of the bonds by an inch or so, this way you can give hair and extensions a good gentle wash without worrying about bonds

Don't rub hard , gently stroke shampoo down the hair length and separate strands as you are doing this.

for the last 2 minutes gently massage the scalp with shampoo and then rinse in tepid water.

repeat these steps for conditioner
